How do you explain Christmas to a JW?
by indireneed ini've come upon a rather perplexing problem .
my wife, who became a jw after we married, recently decided to help me to understand how i am actually worshipping christmas and thus all sorts of terrible false gods.. this caught me so off guard i was unable to mount a good defense.
we just ended up fighting.. her case is the following:.

What's in a name?
by indireneed inlast wednesday i had the absolute joy of attending the theocratic ministry school and the sales meeting.

Children of Interfaith Marriages
by QuietOne ini would be interested in anyone's stories regarding how the children were raised in interfaith marriages.
i know of several individuals (mostly men) that are married to jw women and they all seem to have different arrangements for raising their children.. in one case the father simply ignores the religion issue and the children for the most part.. in another instance there are two children one being raised as a jw and the other being raised as a chatholic.
understandibly this becomes quite an issue at birthdays and christmas.. i yet another instance the "head of the house" routine comes into play where the father has the say on everything and his say is that the children do not attend meetings or practice anything jw related.. most of these relationships are difficult at the best of times but at least the couples involved have stuck it out.

When did the JWs become a religion?
by indireneed inin all my research of the jw phenomenon as a result of my wife's new found epiphany and rapid uptake of the jw rote responses, i've asked myself when the jws really become so religionlike.
i thought i'd see what y'all thought.. my understanding is this: mr. russell was a guy who had the courage to go against the mainstream ideas.
while it sounds like he had a couple vices (ugly young girls, magic elixir sales and idiocy), he actually made some interesting observations.
